The network right now

  • Blocks have been arriving every 2.1 minutes on average over the last 40 blocks, against a target of 2.5.
  • Difficulty is 98,775,853. The network hash rate is about 2.97 PH/s.
  • The next difficulty adjustment is 1,005 blocks away, about 1.7 days. On the pace so far it would change by about -1.0%.
  • Our node has seen 14 competing blocks in the last 30 days. That only counts what reached it, so the network's real number is at least this.

How these figures are made

Fee rates come straight from our own Litecoin node (its fee estimator, estimatesmartfee). A typical send is a native SegWit payment with one input and two outputs (141 vB) at the fastest rate shown. The block table is the node's own per-block statistics: the fee rate each transaction paid, ranked by its size. Fee rates are litoshis per virtual byte. US dollar amounts use the latest hourly close of our LTC price index.

Limits. One node's view: other nodes hold slightly different transactions. A fee estimate is a forecast, not a promise, and wallets may add their own fees on top.
